    EPG Update Transponder

    Does anyone know what the 28.2 update transponder is? After a 4 month absence the EPG on my TM-F3/5 is not updating when I tune in to EPG. Is the 7 day EPG update info now on a different transponder? TIA

    F connector corroded n to LNB

    I am in Algarve in Portugal. I have a 1.5 meter dish with a quad Invacom c120 LNB pointing at 28.2E. I lost signal on one o/p and on checking my LNB one of the F connectors had broken.

    joining 2 channel llists on tm f3/5

    I am in southern Portugal and I have 2 satellite dishes pointed at 28.2E and 27.5W. I have a Technomate F3/5 which handles them both well except for the channel lists. In the TM online channel list there are lists for both my satellites but they are single lists and one overwrites the other...

    pole needed for 1.2m dish

    Here in Algarve I repositioned my 80cm dish from 19.2e to 27.5w to get BBC etc. I lose everything when it rains so I need a bigger dish. I have been given a 1.2 m dish with no mounting hardware. Will my existing 40mm pole be strong enough to support a 1.2m dish?

    Linking Dishes?

    Can dishes be linked? In Southern Spain and Portugal there are dozens of expats in close proximity to one another. All have 1.2 to 1.5 meter dishes pointed at 28.2. If it was possible to link the dishes would the combined surface area act as say a 2.5 to 3 meter dish? If this was possible say...

    uk bbc channels normally on 28.2 on intelsat 907 27.5w ?

    I have been given an old TM 500 super. Does anyone know whether this will work at this high symbol rate? I have been told that some technomates do. If it doesn't then it is not worth while taking it out to Portugal.

    Recording BT Sport on a SKY box with Sky+

    BT Sport told me that they would supply a card for £10. I didn't subscribe so I cannot really confirm.
